TESTIMONIALS

"One of the most important foundations of a strong and healthy church is the marriages of that church. I can't think of a better ministry to endorse or encourage you to have as a part of your congregational life than that of EMBRACE. John and Liz have a dynamic way of communicating the truth about marriage in a way that draws couples into a healthiness about their relationship. I highly recommend EMBRACE with John and Liz Heywood. They will be glad to bless the people of your congregation and they will be a blessing!'

"What an inspiration you have been to us. You have shown us so much of what God wants in a marriage. We were blessed with your wisdom, humor, guidance and support, and your love and passion for the Lord."

"When I heard Liz Heywood speak on the role of the wife in marriage; my eyes were opened to the challenges that my wife faces daily. I had been so focused on my own personal issues that I'd lost sight of my wife's needs. The EMBRACE conference taught us how to make each other a priority and gave us a whole new love for one another."

"Twenty-two years ago, our marriage was in trouble. We went to see a marriage counselor. He asked us to sit at opposite ends of the room and to write a love letter to our spouse. My heart was so filled with anger and bitterness that I couldn't think of anything good to write. The love letter that I wrote on the EMBRACE weekend was the first time I was able to express my heartfelt love for my wife. It was so gratifying to know that the cup of bitterness had finally been drained."

Their ministry, EMBRACE, is birthed out of hearts that long to see husbands and wives experience all God has for them. The Heywoods are dearly loved, esteemed, and highly regarded as a gift, not only to me but many others. The message they communicate is love. I can only hope that my life exemplifies the love of God like theirs does. If you are thinking about this type of ministry for couples in your church, I urge you to consider John and Liz Heywood." 

Ron Mehl, Noted Author & Senior Pastor
Beaverton, Oregon Foursquare Church


Thank you so much for taking your time to come and minister to our couples from the deep truth of God's Word and the depth of your personal experiences. It is a joy (and relief!) when people come in and connect quickly with the precious flock I'm called to lead. Your prayers and preparation for our time together is evident and accompanied by  a gracious touch of Christ."

Terry Riley, Senior Pastor
Creekside Church


"After a fantastic EMBRACE weekend, we highly recommend John and Liz Heywood's ministry. They totally have the heart of God for marriage and their passion and compassion for our couples was encouraging and uplifting to all of us, including our leaders. John and Liz are transparent, relatable, Biblical and humorous. They are the "real deal!" If you are looking for a couple who are balanced in their teaching and who will compliment your ministry (with servants' hearts), call on the Heywoods. You will not be disappointed!
